This house looks lovely and I was looking forward to sharing time there with friends for a celebration. Unfortunately, while I booked this house, we did not get to stay in it. A few days before we were due to arrive, I was told that we were being moved to a different house, because there were some tiles lifting in the booked house. The alternative house was not of a good standard generally, and didn't seem well looked after, things were rusty, cupboards smelt mouldy and there were wasps in the roof that attacked us when we used the pool. There were issues with the hot water and electricity. We had cold showers and used a toothbrush to turn lights on to avoid shocking ourselves. They did try to address the water issues, but this was not fixed while we were there. The hosts response to this was that our booking could have been cancelled by her instead, which is clearly not a good solution. I would have preferred to stay in a house with tiles lifting in one room, than all of the issues listed above. While other reviews are positive, this was a disappointing and negative experience for my friends and I, and I won't be booking with this host in future.

Outstanding service, very clean!! Nice outdoor area. Amazing animal company, wanted to take them home.

Such a Beautiful home, felt right at home here, very private and quiet, the swimming pool was beautiful too and we loved the black cat that visited everyday and hung out with us. Would definitely stay again when we come back

Everything was perfect 👌🏽

The property was beautiful and clean. Fans were available, but it was still quite hot inside, lucky enough there was a pool. It was hard to find our holiday home, but managed to find it eventually.

Close to town, and shops. Pool was amazing for the hot days and lounging on the deck.

Great house with everything you need including a pool. Vaiana and Brett the owners are very helpful and friendly. Nice and quiet too. Near Antipodes which is easily the best restaurant (forget about Tamarind this is next level great). Thanks so much xx

Good location and the pool was fantastic for the children. Unfortunately the house facilities required attention. The oven and cooker ignition did not work resulting in having to be lit with a lighter and for the oven a piece of paper. Of the 3 fans only 2 worked. There was only 1 towel per person which is difficult when you have a pool as well.Other wise we had a great holiday.

Good stay, tidy and easy to use, location good, no issues

5 stars as this is our second time back staying in this home.

Great place for a large family. Beautiful big deck and pool kept us cool. Really close to town an anything else needed.

Awesome property for our family. Lovely outdoor area and pool where we spent most of our time. We loved being inland on the back road for this visit.

Perfect for our group of 6, with 3 double rooms and bedding for 10! Open plan living made the place seem a lot bigger with nice furninshings. The massive deck was great for BBQs, drinks and lounging about, exactly what we came for...relaxation! The pool was perfect for cooling off morning, noon and night!! The neighbourhood pets were very friendly and we were sad to leave the “BIg Guy” (the golden lab-x). This house is a home away from home! Thank you Vaiana!

Beutifully located house, loved the pool. Very humid and hot in Rarotonga so the pool came in handy. Beutiful house and we all enjoyed our stay. Thank you very much Vaiana

Ohhh g it was mint as close to town, the airport around the corner from the shop close to the clubz lol...mint as pool to pop some manuz..We loved our stay and it won't be our last...l'll be bukkkk like Arnold swartzingga lol thankyou Vaiana & your husband for the beautiful stay..See use again someday soon..meitaki!

Awesome house with an awesome out-door area! We spent most our time on the large deck next to the pool. We donated some pool lilos because they made our experience so much more relaxing. We were aware of the washing machine being broken so didn't have a problem, although the fridge struggled to work and actually don't think it worked at all, the freezer was fine but definitely time to upgrade the seals or even replace. The location is close to shops, airport, town, beaches, restaurants.

Would definitely recommend this property to others ! Great location and an awesome place for families to stay ! Close to the airport, town and a short walk to shop down the road ! Awesome outdoor area with the large deck, BBQ and swimming pool ! Would surely stay here again ! :)

The location is very close to the airport and a scooter or car ride is the best transport around the island. My whanau used the bus that was an easy 10 minute walk to the local super brown corner store. We knew the washing machine didn't spin so no problem there. Beautiful white towels for the pool but no beach towels. I tried to find some to buy as a donation to this beautiful home but couldnt find any. Overall amazing, spacious, comfortable, loads of shade, great neighbours and friendly dogs.

Location is inland and very accessible to town. Finding the house at 2am was a little difficult but we managed. It is child friendly and very spacious. There was one small issue which is easily fixable. The washing machine does not operate properly and being a parent it was the only let down. Overall our stay was amazing. Beautiful home.

Gorgeous Beautiful setting, Close to town and beach.

We loved every single moment being in raro the house is immaculate, it's a home away from home. The decor is beautifully raro we didn't wana leave. Vaiana and her husband are amazing people they made us feel like we were at home.. we will definitely be going back. Also another bonus if your looking for pearls Vaiana has amazing black pearl jewellery which I had managed to get my ring set with a beautiful black pearl..

House was perfect for our family. Perfect size, perfect location perfect all round. Will definitely book there again.

Thank you we really enjoyed our stay - the house was close to town/airport/black rock/beach etc. and had everything we needed and the kids absolutely loved the pool!!
